Given the fact that there are no commandments about sitting or not sitting, but only incidental narrative passages (that comport with the practice of the time with other itinerant teachers and wise men) I see no reason to go one way or the other. Don't confuse narrative with commandment.

Frankly, I think a baptismal font is also a circumstance, as is any sort of table for the Lord's supper. We aren't commanded to have either kind of furniture.
